Rick Kelley
Rick Kelley's wildlife and African art is a visual journal of
his life's travels, experiences and adventures. Every creation
evokes a fond memory of the wildlife Rick admires, preserves, and
respects. Rick's approach is to capture the emotion in each
animal, whether it is the serenity of the loon, the majesty of
the bald eagle or the stealth power of the gray wolf. These
visions and strong emotions coupled with Kelley's scientifically
and proportionately correct images have made him a nationally
recognized and critically acclaimed wildlife artist.
Rick began his quest to be an artist out of
a love for nature at the early age of ten. He continued to paint
through school, and after graduation Kelley took advantage of his
father's transfer to Montana. There he used Montana's beauty as a
backdrop and inspiration for his work. After studying at Eastern
Montana University, Rick set out on his own. Less than ten years
later in 1980, he began painting professionally .. full
time.
